Overview

Stabilizing the ground using the non-living biological molecules that organisms produce.It highlights renewable, biodegradable biopolymers—classified into plant-based (guar gum), animal-derived (chitosan), and microbial (xanthan gum) families—and how their chemical mechanisms physically bind or coat coarse and unstable soils.
